Considered a must-see attraction in Hong Kong, “The Peak” offers some of the best views of Hong Kong’s skyline, from the green hills of Hong Kong Island. Explore the surrounding attractions and climb aboard the iconic tram, with your guide to the country’s best viewpoint.
Transport Via Bus Or Taxi
The journey to The Peak is part of the adventure. Visitors can take buses or taxis from their Hong Kong accommodations up the winding roads that snake along the hill.
The Peak Tram
Although the twisting roads leading up are a treat, the Peak Tram stands out as a historical and scenic choice. Operational since 1888, it is a feat of engineering and a beloved attraction. The tram climbs steep inclines while offering extensive views of the city’s skyscrapers against the harbour backdrop. The station at the base of the hill is also a convenient distance from several hotels in Wan Chai, including Dorsett Wanchai Hong Kong.
The Peak Tower
At the summit, visitors are greeted by the futuristic Peak Tower, the defining monument of The Peak. Inside, explore a collection of restaurants, shops, and the Sky Terrace 428, the highest viewing platform in Hong Kong. From here, watch as the city unfolds in a mesmerising display of lights and life.
Victoria Peak Garden: A Quieter Alternative
Although the views from The Peak Tower are unbeatable, its popularity can lead to large crowds during visiting hours. For those seeking a respite from it all, Victoria Peak Garden offers a calmer option. Just a short walk from the busy Tower, wander down quieter trails, breathe in the fresh air, and experience the equally stunning vistas, all to yourself.
